All photographs, on verso, lower right, in pencil, accession numbersNotesSubject Note: Throop C. Brown, Jr. and John Harvey Brown were apparently the sons of Throop C. Brown, the son of Maude and Walter Brown. Throop C. Brown, Sr. died in Branford, CT in 1995, so the family evidently had some connection with the state despite the fact that at least two of these photographs were taken in Massachusetts.
